He said that Works Minister David Walker may try to use finesse and express regret at not being able to give a report but “everyone knows that he is trying to avoid, like the govern- ment, to give a definite answer in that regard.”

“This shows again that the government is playing for time and especially that it wants to avoid having to make a decision before the next election,” Bourget charged. “I think that the people concerned, especially from Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick, will not ignore the fact that this is another one

of those unfulfilled promises of the federal government.”

Unless Bans Decided

WASHINGTON (AP) — Pres- ident Kennedy announced Fri- day night that the United State will go ahead with atomic tests in the air by the latter part of April unless ‘a firm agree- ment” with the Soviet Union to halt nuclear blasts has been reached by then

Kennedy made his announce. ment in a 30 - minute radio and television speech.

The president coupled his no- tice of intent to go ahead with atmospheric shots, for the first time for the U.S. ‘since Novem- ber, 1958, with a promise to So- viet Premier Khrushchev of a summit meeting at Geneva if the Soviet Union should accept a test - ban treaty in the first month of the 18 nation general disarmament talks, scheduled to start in the Swiss city March 44

Kennedy gave a detailed de fence of his decision to resume tests in the wake of the Soviet action in breaking the atomic test moratorium last fall. Most of the modern U.S, missile ars- enal relies on atomic warheads which have never been opera- tionally tested. And weaponcers are searching for a break- through toward an anti-missile missile to shoot down attacking intercontinental rockets

BLAMES RUSSIA

Kennedy said U.S. security requirements and those of the free world demand that the United States proceed with its testing. At the same time, he blamed the Russians for U.S. resumption, deplored the setup in the arms race and declared that the Russians have the power, through agreeing to a

test - ban treaty, to bring to

In short.” Kennedy said, “in the absence of a firm agree: ment that would halt nuclear tests by the latter part of April, we shall go ahead with our talks (at Geneva)—striving for some new avenue of agreement—but we shall also go ahead with our tests

“If, on the other hand, the Soviet Union should accept such a treaty in the opening months of talks. that single step would be a monumental step toward peace—and both Prime Minister Macmillan and 1 would think it fitting (0 meet Chairman Khr- ushchev at Geneva to sign the final pact

Kennedy concluded that, with- out a nuclear test ban treaty “detection and ion" controls to make it fully effective against any violations, the United, States has no choice but to go ahead with the ad- vancement of its atomie arsenal
